Chelsea responded to the humiliating start to their title defence by beating Tottenham 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.

Marcos Alonso bagged a brace for the Blues as Antonio Conte’s side recovered from their 3-2 defeat to Burnley last week.

Alonso’s first-half free-kick was cancelled out by Michy Batshuayi’s own goal eight minutes from time.

But Chelsea were not finished yet, and Alonso struck the winner on 88 minutes to earn the Blues all three points.

Here’s our two good and two bad performances from a thrilling encounter at Wembley Stadium.

TWO GOOD

MARCOS ALONSO

The Spaniard was back to his menacing best, scoring twice to guide Chelsea to victory.

The 26-year-old unleashed a stunning free-kick into the top corner after 26 minutes to give the Blues an early lead.

His second was a gem too. Receiving possession from Pedro, he turned to drive the ball underneath a stranded Hugo Lloris to score the winner with two minutes remaining.

Aside from his goal scoring exploits, he looked solid on and off the ball, cutting down the influence of Kieran Trippier at every opportunity.

DAVID LUIZ

The Brazilian was outstanding in his midfield role and made the decisive tackle that led to Alonso’s late winner.

Although he looked shaky at times in the first half, he recovered to make a number of important blocks.

With Bakayoko and Kante playing off him, the Blues looked difficult to break down all afternoon.

A brave and determined performance by Luiz.

TWO BAD

HUGO LLORIS

A poor display by the usually reliant Frenchman.

Not much he could do for Alonso’s free-kick which was a truly impressive strike, but the Spurs captain was easily beaten for the second.

Alonso looked to have all the time in the world when shooting and the ball flapped under Lloris’s body and into the net.

MICHY BATSHUAYI

A nightmare 11 minutes for Batshuayi.

He was only on the field three minutes when it looked like he cost the Blues the match.

An own goal from the young Belgian handed Spurs an equaliser, but fortunately star man Alonso stepped up to score the winner late in the contest.
